Youths of Owukpa community have been keeping vigil at the site of the illegal mortuary erected by a popular Igbo business merchant in Ipole Owukpa in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State.
IDOMA VOICE reports that the new mortuary was built at Ai-Eyi, Ai-Aroga, Ai-Uji in Ipole Owukpa community.
It was gathered that the owner, identified as is Chinedu Ugwu, allegedly has a mortuary in Adoka community and decided to expand the branch of the morgue to Ipole Owukpa.
The reports claimed that the ‘merchant of death’ purchased the land at the rate of 800,000 from the seller, Mr. Emaikwu Abah, who is an indigene of the community.
However, despite refusal by the host community to allow him float his ‘lifeless business’, Chinedu few days back launched the mortuary after claiming to have obtained necessary documents from backing from Makurdi, through the local government.
However, findings have revealed that the local government council was not aware of the development.
The youths of the community have taking over the place to avoid anyone from starting the ‘deadly business.’
